d is the answer as brought forward losses cannot be deducted for this computation as specified in sec 40 (b)
sir i m ca inter this question came in mock test paper but in that in answer is b means 180000
In any combination that answer won't come

Book profit before adjusting 250000

Less unabsorbed depre up to b/f loss which is up to 200000 

So book profit 250000

Less unab depre 50000

Book profit = 200000

Remuneration would be 90 % of 200000 = 180000

answer is rs 180000 as per sec 32(2) of the act in which brought forward unabsorbed depreciation is allowed as deduction, but first brought forward business loss is to be notionally allowed first, therefore 250000-200000-50000(to extent of profit balance left)=0 now add back b/f loss 0+200000=200000. Now rs 200000 is the book profit and 90% of it is rs 180000

Answer is 225000 as remuneration as per 40(b) is taken on current year book profit where as setoff of previous year is as per 72

So 90% of 250000
